WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Frcm Our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, May 23rd 1887.
To-day more than thousand tents
Written the greensward that stretches
around the Washington Monument.
The troops are now all here who in
tended to participate in the National
Drill, and they represent Ala
bama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Colo
RADIO, Dakota, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, North Carolina South Carolina,
Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Tennessee
Virginia, Washington Territory and
the District of Columbia.
The Drill opened this morning, but
the day was consumed by some form
alities such as naming the camp, is
suing orders, receiving the latest ar
rivals of troops etc, and this evening
there was dress parade by all of tho
organizations encamped, but the
competitive drill begins tomorrow.
The soldiers here represent the flow
err of the National Guard Of their
States, and many Of the commands
are noted for their excellent discipline
and won trophies in State and inter
state drills.
Such camp has not been seen in
this country since the veterans of the
civil war broke their camp in IS.
Now the soldiers Of the North, South,
East and West assemble in one camp
and contend in friendly strife for the
trophies of the peaceful drill ground.
Up to this time the greatest gath
ering of the kind was at "Camp r. G.
Drum" in Mobile, two years ago, but
the National Drill exceeds that more
than three fold in number Of military
bodies that will take part.
The good people of Washington
are rejoicing that the order permit
ing the sale of intoxicating liquors on
the drill ground has been revoked.
The bar privilege of the ground had
been sold by the Drill Committee for
81, 800, but it is settled that only
Temperance drinks shall be dispensed
Mt Mt the refreshment counter under
the grand stand this week. The re-
vocation of the privilege has been at
tributed to the influence of the Pres
ident through the efforts of some
ladies OF the w. L. G. u, who called
upon him to interfere, and also to a
suggestion from the Commissioner of
public grounds, to the effect that the
War Department, Ito which the drill
ground bclongs) would be gratifed
if the committee would exclude in
toxicating liquors But from what
ever source the influence may have
come. most people were pleased with
the fnal decision and action of the
National Drill Committee
After the close Of the Drill the
President viii take a vacation of
about ten days, accompanied by Mrs.

family They WI go to SarAuae

WHO xYas .i,e Traitor.

The Union cause had Benedict Arnold
during The late civil war. but his name
has never been disclosed. It is known that
he was = Federal officer high in command
in middle Tennessee about the close of the
year 1868, hut the secret ofhis treachery is
forever hurled in the grave OF a young Con-
Gederate scout. During the month Of Octo.
Der, 1868, Gen. Bragg thought ii was neces-
sary for the success of his movements that
the strength of the Federal Notifications Of
middle Tennessee should be accurately
known. He selected Sam Davis, a Tennes
see lad 10 years old, 10 perform the difficult
and dangerous work. Young Davis had
entered the Confederate army at il years
OF age and had acquired the reputation Of
being the best scout in the rebel service.
he was the son of a Pulaski county farmer,
a hoy of most excellent habits and remark
able for his bravery aud prudence. When
Gen. Bragg informed Davis what he wanted
done the lad readily untook 10 per-
FORM the mission On the Goth of
November ne was captured by body
of troops belonging TO Gen. Dodge's
command, and he was then on his re-
turn to Bragg's camp with the plans of
all the Notifications at Nashville and other
important military posts in Tennessee Oh his
person. Gen. Dodge was satisfied from the
accuracy of the plans and their minuteness
of detail that Davis had gotten his informa-
ton from some one holding high position
among the Federal engineers. Every effort
was made by Gen. Dodge TO induce Davis to
tell the name of the Federal traitor, but in
vain. Davis admitted that the plans had
been furnished by an officer high in rank in
the Union army, but resolutely refused to
disclose the name Of his informant Find
ing it impossible to move Davis in MS stub
born determination. Gen. Dodge ordered
court martial to try the young scout on the
charge of being spy. Col. Madison Mil
Ter of the 18th Missouri Regiment presided
at the trial and Davis was found guilty, sen
fenced, and hanged. When on the scaffoId
he was again offered pardon and a safe re-
turn within the Confederate lines fine would
impart the sources Of his Information.
Davis said that he could not reveal the
name Of his informer without violating MS
own promise of secrecy. He preferred
death TO dishonor. 1t is possible that the
Federal officer is still alive and in the SER
vice. But he knows that thc secrecy of his
treachery IS buried in the grave of o boy
whose fidelity to honor only makes MS own
crime ;he blackest.-.N. Paul Globe.
